Christian McKay -- this time it wasn't the Academy's fault. McKay should have been nominated for best supporting actor in ME AND ORSON WELLES, but the studio, figuring Christoph Waltz was a lock for INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, positioned the unknown McKay for best actor instead. The result? He was nominated for neither.
